Renewal requirements

1. All school counselor credentials are renewed by submitting a copy of college transcripts documenting the completion of four semester hours of graduate coursework in education, of which two semester hours must be in the area of counseling. These two semester hours of required counseling coursework may be replaced by thirty clock-hours of continuing education hours in counseling with a signed verification of attendance or participation by the conference or workshop sponsor, the employer, or a school district business manager. 2. Renewals for the purpose of aligning the renewal dates of their credentials with their educator's professional licenses may be granted upon request of applicants. The number of semester hours needed for renewal will be calculated on a one semester hour per year basis.
